Their management and custome rinteraction is poor, and there hasn’t bene much benefit attained from social bookmarking and directory submissions, at least not worth your time with the directory submissions since many of them requires you manually click a link in your email to add site to their directory.

Most directories only list your url for a few weeks or so then they remove it unless you pay them something…

Also RE: 30DC anti- open-and -frank-communication
I had a problem with some software purchased via 30DC and voiced it in the forum and was threatened with being banned

Not sure what your bait was, enjoy yourself good luck with your biz.

Never did 30 DC no need for me to do it but I hear the course is rock solid.

Here’s something you might want to read:

http://www.warriorforum.com/internet-marketing-product-reviews-ratings/110417-anyone-using-traffic-bug-2.html

See how I defended the product, told people to remain patient, to give it a chance etc…

Then re-read my last comment where I wrote:

“Either way, everyone should move on stop beyyaitching and get something like link juicer or any of the 4 services I recommend at top of this site.”

Move on people! Or wait for the Second coming…

The thread I mentioned and linked to above depicts how several people got their accounts shut down and how certain threads on the 30CD forum got closed.

To me that’s anti-open-communication, but its their site, their service, their forum and they can do whatever they want.

You called me jealous?

And yet you’re not banned and your comment is and shall remain approved.

I can take it!

lol @ “30 DC forum is very anti- open-and -frank-communication” haha its just so bitches like you cant slag everyone off at any half given chance. Kudos to them!

What made this problem worse than it had to be is:

30 DC forum is very anti- open-and -frank-communication
Roberts’ Customer Support and treatment of customers

He hasn’t honored my refund request (yet) and should since he didn’t deliver as promised. Whether or not it’s his fault doesn’t matter.
If you order an omelette and you don’t get an omelette, you deserve an omelette or your money back.

Either way you probably don’t want to go back to that “restaurant”

Plus I know he knows about this site and the threads going on at the much more PRO-open-discussion Warrior Forum discussing this mess.

So he’s choosing where and when to say what’s he’s got to say, and isn’t proudly and emphatically defending his program.

30DC and MR should have more confidence in themselves and their products by allowing frank discussion, positive or negative

Either way, everyone should move on stop beyyaitching and get something like link juicer or any of the 4 services I recommend at top of this site

Take the other side to this, and look at the expression “being spammed!” What was he expecting from this industry, clean, respectable and none money grabbing people?

Yes, thats what most of this industry is built on – people just wanting to make money and, a lot of them don’t care how they do it, and how they hurt people doing it.

If that was the case, why would he ban those people, re-open new bookmarking accounts and start again? Yes, I can see that those who took things early got no backlinks – so should he have gone to everyone…. “Huston, we have a problem!” Yes is the correct answer – and he should have refunded those who had paid for those months and, rebuilt his system setup to carry on.

Has he continued?

Looks like it, because I opened a new account this week, plugged in a url I wanted to test, and by George, it’s working again and, the links are appearing. The main issue that everyone seemed to have was they couldn’t see where the backlinks were – but obviously, this is not the case, because I am finding my links within a few days and my site (which i set up for the trial) has been indexed and is ranking.

Amazing, when someone launches a beta product, people need to fully understand what “Beta” means. And, should anyone not undestand that theory, then if in doubt, don’t do it!

I’m not plugging this service at all – just passing on my experience from the first egg that cracked, to the omlette I have just been presented with at my table.

Google Internet Marketing Guide and you’ll see my site in top 10.
For “relief” from BS fluff marketing info, Google Marketer’s Relief

So, the answer’s yes,

Dan

LOL, I didn’t know you had that other site interesting stuff over there. Have you ever thought about doing your own program? Maybe there is a demand for a no BS internet marketing guide aimed at newer promoters?

Why? Because it pays to let them gripe and not fully inform them, time for a new WSO!!!

BTW, I do have a wall of shame for link building service to not use, click here to see it

Oooh, almost Friday, weekend’s about to start for me can’t wait, it’s been a long week, what with BLS tanking on me/us temporarily and having to defend my recommendations even though I don’t run/own/maintain the service.

Looking forward to updating or wrapping up my Google Sniper review, Content Buzz review and Free Traffic System reviews next week.

Even if TB comes back, you gotta remember

Once bitten twice shy.

I wouldn’t rejoin even if it were free, despite the minimal effects it has for people’s sites

I am a subscriber for Traffic Bug. I did get an email to say that they’d had a few problems with spammers and will be creating new bookmarking accounts to help solve this.

I’m simply going to see how it pans out over the long term, the service is still fairly new.
